I didn't think this book was nearly as good as Blink. While the people and products he describes are interesting and it's easy reading, I didn't really feel like there was a cohesive story backed up by real studies. Although it made intuitive sense, that doesn't necessarily mean that's how the world works. Justin said he read several social science studies that explained why they no longer use this model.
If it applies to everything, maybe it's not actually a useful model describing how the world works.

A subtle concept drawn out so vividly and substantiated with classic examples.I liked the typical example of Hush Puppies.
In my view , "Tipping point" as a phenomenon can be applied to anything, be it business,societal events or a person's individual career.

A good read it was!

This book was like Blink. This one is also interesting, with neat real examples to support what he has to say. Good read!
